I have a D-Link 514 wireless router and a centrino laptop. The laptop works fine when plugged in to the router but when I go wireless I can only access certain webpages. (i.e. Google works fine, Espn.com never connects.) Signal strength is excellent, firewall is disabled, I have no idea what's up. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

No, other sites work fine as well and I can search on google and it comes up with results.

Are you sure you are going wireless through your router and not some other wireless router that has a firewall blocking access to specific sites?

Pete,
I had the same problem but fixed it easily. Might be same for you. I answered Michael_Secco with instructions.

If you have not solved your problem, lookup my response on Michael's request for Only reach 3 websites.

Good luck.
